At least I am not alone. If we could just figure out the problem.
To bring you up to date on mine: we bought a new coolant temperature sensor and tried it, but it did not solve the problem.
We were stumped so we ran a wire from radiator fan to battery. Fan would kick in and we could watch the temperature gauge drop as fan ran.
Since we didn't know what to do next we improvised. We spliced radiator fan wire, ran that to battery, then to a toggle switch inside van.
I've drove with it for about a week now. As long as I am driving the temp gauge is fine. When I am idleing I keep an eye on gauge if it starts to rise I flip the toggle switch for the fan. So far this has worked great. I just have to remember to flip it off. Although a more permanent solution would be better. If you find out anything please pass it on, as will I.
Someone suggested the radiator fan relay. I checked on one it runs $24.99 So if I have the extra cash I will try it this weekend. If not next.
Keep me posted on your progress.
